Operation Manual
19 June 2017 (First Edition)
12 February 2021 (Ninth Edition)
● ALWAYS refer to the operation manual when working near locations
at which the alert mark shown on the left is attached. If the advice in
the operation manual is not followed, there is a risk of personal injury
or reduced equipment performance. The alert mark shown on the left
may also be used with other marks and descriptions to indicate other
dangers.
● Overvoltage Category
This equipment complies with overvoltage category II defined in IEC
61010. DO NOT connect this equipment to the power supply of
overvoltage category III or IV.
● To ensure that the equipment is grounded, always use the supplied
3-pin power cord, and insert the plug into an outlet with a ground
terminal. If power is supplied without grounding the equipment, there
is a risk of receiving a severe or fatal electric shock or causing
damage to the internal components.
● Only qualified service personnel with a knowledge of electrical fire and
shock hazards should service this equipment. This equipment cannot
be repaired by the operator. DO NOT attempt to remove the
equipment covers or unit covers or to disassemble internal
components. There are high-voltage parts in this equipment
presenting a risk of severe injury or fatal electric shock to untrained
personnel. In addition, there is a risk of damage to precision
components.
● The performance-guarantee seal verifies the integrity of the equipment.
To ensure the continued integrity of the equipment, only Anritsu
service personnel, or service personnel of an Anritsu sales
representative, should break this seal to repair or calibrate the
equipment. Be careful not to break the seal by opening the
equipment or unit covers. If the performance-guarantee seal is
broken by you or a third party, the performance of the equipment
cannot be guaranteed.

For Safety
LCD
Falling Over
WARNING
● This equipment should always be positioned in the correct manner. If
the cabinet is turned on its side, etc., it will be unstable and may be
damaged if it falls over as a result of receiving a slight mechanical
shock.
Always set up the equipment in a position where the power switch
can be reached without difficulty.
● This equipment uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). DO NOT subject
the equipment to excessive force or drop it. If the LCD is subjected to
strong mechanical shock, it may break and liquid may leak.
This liquid is very caustic and poisonous.
DO NOT touch it, ingest it, or get in your eyes. If it is ingested
accidentally, spit it out immediately, rinse your mouth with water and
seek medical help. If it enters your eyes accidentally, do not rub your
eyes, rinse them with clean running water and seek medical help. If
the liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off carefully and
thoroughly with soap and water.
iv
For Safety
Check Terminal
CAUTION
Cleaning
Static Sensitive
● Always remove the main power cable from the power outlet before
cleaning dust around the power supply and fan.
- Clean the power inlet regularly. If dust accumulates around the
power pins, there is a risk of fire.
- Keep the cooling fan clean so that the ventilation holes are not
obstructed. If the ventilation is obstructed, the cabinet may
overheat and catch fire.
● Never input a signal of more than the indicated value between the
measured terminal and ground. Input of an excessive signal may
damage the equipment.
● Always take the following anti-static measures to prevent the internal
circuit from being damaged when using a connector indicated by the
symbol shown on the left.
- Wear a wrist strap connected to the ground terminal of this
equipment.
- Connect the ground wires of this equipment, external measuring
instruments and DUT before connecting a coaxial cable.
- Eliminate static electricity charged between the cores and outer
conductors of an external device and the coaxial cable, before
connecting this equipment and the external device.
● This is a heavy object. When lifting and moving this equipment,
always work in a group of two or more, or use a trolley. There is a
risk of back injury, if this equipment is lifted or moved by one person.
v
For Safety
External
Storage Media
SSD
CAUTION
The MP1900A saves data and programs to an external storage media
which has USB interface.
If this media is mishandled or becomes faulty, important data may be
lost. It is recommended to periodically back up all important data and
programs to protect them from being lost accidentally.
Anritsu will not be held responsible for lost data.
Pay careful attention to the following points.
● Never remove the memory card from the equipment while it is being
accessed.
● The memory card may be damaged by static electric charges.
● Anritsu has thoroughly tested all external storage media shipped with
this equipment. Users should note that external storage media not
shipped with this equipment may not have been tested by Anritsu, thus
Anritsu cannot guarantee the performance or suitability of such media.
The equipment is equipped with a SSD (Solid State Drive) from which,
as with any hard disk, data may be lost under certain conditions. It is
recommended to periodically back up all important data and programs
to protect them from being lost accidentally.
Anritsu will not be held responsible for lost data.
To reduce the possibility of data loss, particular attention should be
given to the following points.
● The equipment should only be used within the recommend
temperature range, and should not be used in locations where the
temperature may fluctuate suddenly.
● Always follow the guidelines to ensure that the equipment is set up in
the specified manner.
● Always ensure that the fans at the rear and side of the equipment
are not blocked or obstructed in any way.
● Exercise care not to bang or shake the equipment whilst the power is
on.
● Never disconnect the mains power at the plug or cut the power at the
breaker with the equipment turned on.

By installing various plug-in modules (hereinafter, referred to as
“module”), the MP1900A can support research, development and
production of module devices for the optical communication market or
high-speed bus interface such as PCI Express. The MP1900A is also
useful for research and development for the next-generation
communication market, including optical packet transmission.
Up to 8 modules can be installed into the MP1900A. The MP1900A is
equipped with touchpanel LCDs, keys and a rotary encoder for easy
operation. Remote control can also be performed by adding the GPIB or
LAN.
